All in this video was fine until you compared the apple// with the C64. Ever heard about apple clones? There were hundreds of manufacturers around the world. Only a small minority of people had an original apple computer, especially in the early time.

I mentioned one of the more infamous Apple II clones in the video (the Franklin Ace), however I did forget to mention VTech's Laser 128, which in hindsight, I should've brought up since it was one of the most popular Apple II clones that managed to avoid getting taken off the market 😅

@@SavvySage There is more than the US market. Those clones were sold everywhere and not only as fully assembled computers.

Wow, the Commodore 64 computer blew the doors off the Apple IIe computer. Why would anyone, in their right mind, buy an Apple IIe when the Commodore 64 was clearly the better computer?! And, the Commodore 64 cost a lot less money. 🤔
@SavvySage Ай бұрын
It makes sense that the Commodore 64 sold better since it cost less and was sold at retail stores-however schools and businesses were the primary reason the Apple II line did well, despite significantly lower sales than Commodore.

@@SavvySage The Commodore 64 computers were also in schools. No, the Apple IIe computers were not used for business, the IBM PCs were. I stand by what I said, the Commodore 64 blew the doors off the Apple IIe and is the better computer. So, only stupid people, or people filled with ego, chose the Apple IIe. Smart people chose the Commodore 64. 🤔

Regarding the business part: I never said just the Apple //e, I said "Apple II line". In the early 80s (before the IBM PC), the Apple II became popular with businesses around the time VisiCalc hit the market. The Apple IIe came out in 1983-by that time, VisiCalc was not only ported to the IBM PC (which many businesses shifted to), but Lotus was taking away its market share. And yes, the Commodore 64 was made available to schools-it just didn't move as many units compared to Apple. I'm not disagreeing with you on the Commodore 64 being better (in my opinion it is), I'm just going by objective facts here 😅

Heh, that Mac near the tail end of the video sounded an awful lot like Maccy. Coincidence?

The Apple IIe is such a great general-purpose computer. They got pretty much everything right on that one. One of my favorite classic computers with a wealth of software and peripherals.

That wobble on your screen is caused by capacitors on the analog board that might need to be replaced. Mine used to do it - after a recap it's rock solid.

Just to clarify that "Head Rush" Jack Attack in "The Unexpected" episode, they are all LIES, not the truth but it the misconception that people think these lies are facts: - Twinkies DO SPOIL, don't let them sit in the back of your shelf for too long. - Fortune Cookies are NOT Chinese, they are created by Japanese immigrants in United States. - Common Cold DOES NOT cause by cold air/weather, it causes by viruses. - Napoleon WAS NOT SHORT, he was average height (5 foot 6, about 1.68 meters). This misconception was cause by propaganda. - Thomas Edison did NOT invented the light bulb, Alessandro Volta was the first ever developed one, Edison was the one who made light bulb COMMERCIALLY and often credited as the inventor of the bulb, but he used past/other scientists' patents to create the bulb, Edison was also a massive d*ck. - Swimming after eating does NOT causes cramps, because there are no evidences this is the case, you might get cramps if you don't stretch your limbs and such. - Lastly, Bats are NO WAY blind, they have eyes for the reason to see, they just so happen to have echo locator ability.

I remember watching Technology Showdown for the first time as a kid and I rewatched it all before coming to this video. Even though there won't be any more, I'd like to thank you for making the little series because it left a big impact on younger me. I have to admit however that I spent an eternity finding the series because I couldn't for the life of me remember how the name was XD Really though, great work, and I say that as somebody who doesn't comment often
